Never take a person`s dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you.
- Frank BarronIf you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
- Fyodor DostoevskyI`m not the greatest; I`m the double greatest. Not only do I knock `em out, I pick the round.
- Muhammad AliI have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man`s self-respect is a sin.
- Antoine de Saint-ExuperyIt is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.
- Dale E. TurnerIf you think you can do it, or you think you can`t do it, You are right.
- Henry FordThe greatest difficulty is that men do not think enough of themselves, do not consider what it is that they are sacrificing when they follow in a herd, or when they cater for their establishment

- Marcus AureliusSelf-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
- Abraham J. HeschelWe can really respect a man only if he doesn`t always look out for himself
- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheSelf-respect is the cornerstone of all virtue.
- John HerschelTrue humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.
- Ralph W. Sockman
